No? Niether does “Nature did it” Yet we teach it as fact in our schools despite havign NO science to back that up as fact- Strange huh?

You have no concept of science. Give me an example that I can refute and stop speaking in generalities. I can give you plenty of examples that are not "nature did it" because nature isn't a thing as much as it is an abstract concept. (Unless you ask the envirowackos.)

Really? Hmmmm- Shall I start a list of all the all powerful cop-outs used in evolutionary science?

By "all-powerful" i was referring to the cop-out of saying "God did it." You want to debate evolution sure, let's do it. I'll give a very simple example. Why are humans taller on average now than at any point in history? Occam's Razor says we're evolving. What is the creationist theory?

Best get on the horn and tell all our science professors in schools that their hypothesis can’t be taught in schools then- Heaven forbid anythign be taught that might stimulate further critical thinking then- Psssst- Evolution can’t be intrinsically falsified either- just htought you might like to know that little known fact.

The difference is that unproven science is presented as a theory and a series of hypotheses, not as fact "because I said so" and "end of discussion." The VERY first things that science students are taught, before any proper science is taught are the definitions of both THEORY and HYPOTHESIS and the scientific method. I suggest you familiarize yourself with these concepts, they come in handy when arguing science.

[[You have no concept of science. Give me an example that I can refute and stop speaking in generalities.]]

Ah- getting personal- how quaint-

Want an example that is taught in school as fact? an example of ‘nature did it” and ‘because we said so’? Fine- Macroevolution!-

[[I’ll give a very simple example. Why are humans taller on average now than at any point in history?]]

We are? Hmmm- I guess someone forgot to tell Goliath and his clan that - oh, and you can chalk the average up to MICOEvolution- not Macroevolution

[[Occam’s Razor says we’re evolving. What is the creationist theory?]]

Lol- Species reamining within their own KINDS is a fien fine example of Macroevolution- whoops- no it isn’t

[[definitions of both THEORY and HYPOTHESIS and the scientific method. I suggest you familiarize yourself with these concepts, they come in handy when arguing science.]]

Lol- htis coming from someone who doesn’t understand the difference between Micro and Macro evolution? Wanna keep on with hte personal insults? Just say hte word. And just for the record- I know you’re all upset over Humphries- but how about at least keeping your accusations factual and representative of what Humpphries is actually saying instead of assigning false statements to him- Where is he stating that what he is proposiing is ‘fact’ ‘just because he says so’? Looks like I’m not hte one who needs to freshen up on their definitions there fella.
